I used to work in Northern Ontario, places like Thunder Bay etc. It is not uncomment to get 4-6' of snow a winter. Up there, we deal with it, drive slow and arrive alive. I laugh now that i'm back in the Toronto area during winter.(although i do feel for Frank, out on his bike non the less.:-)) 1-2cm is enough to create havoc and over a 1000 Hwy accidents to boot. No one slows down, they still drive at hwy speeds then wipe out. There is talk here in Ontario, for a law, that if you slid off the road into a ditch, it will be assumed you drove to fast for conditions and will get a fine. I'm not sure if this will go any were but its in discussion stage now.
